Keyz' Reference Tools
A utility mod that adds an in-game reference browser for every Def loaded in your current modlist. No more alt-tabbing to the wiki or digging through XML files to figure out what something is, how to make it, or what research unlocks it.
Fully read-only — it never touches your world state.
Features
Reference Tab
A new Reference button in the bottom tab bar (alongside Architect, Work, Schedule, etc.). Opens a full-screen browser panel.
Search & Filter
- Live search across Def name, label, and description
- Filter by Def type (ThingDef, RecipeDef, HediffDef, ResearchProjectDef, ...)
- Filter by source mod or DLC
- Toggle to hide items locked behind unfinished research
Detail Panel
Click any result to open its detail view. Four tabs:
Info
- Label, description, icon, and full stat block
- Related links — recipes that produce it, workbenches that craft it, required research, what research unlocks, and more
- Clicking a related link navigates to that Def — breadcrumb bar tracks your path so you can navigate back
XML
- Serialized in-memory state of the Def — fully resolved after inheritance and patches
- Copy to clipboard button
- View patches applied to the XML
Technical
- Type chain, comp classes, graphic data, tools, ingestible properties, hediff stages, research prerequisites, genes, body parts, traits, abilities, and more
- Displayed as collapsible sections so you can drill into only what you need
Instances
- Live query of the current map for things, pawns with hediffs/thoughts/genes/traits matching the selected Def
- Click any row to close the browser and jump the camera directly to that instance
